If somebody is doing good work, will you see his degrees: Mann

Chandigarh : Chief minister Bhagwant Mann on Thursday slammed leader of Opposition Partap Singh Bajwa for making baseless allegations against Rajya Sabha member Balbir Singh Seechewal.

Addressing the Vidhan Sabha session during the debate on budget proposals, the CM quipped that those who are habitual of obstructing the session often stage walkout on trivial issues to get media attention.

“If somebody is doing good work, will you see his degrees? Sadly, Seechewal has a model to clear the dirt in the ponds, but he doesn’t have a model that could clear dirt from the minds of politicians,” Maan said.

“It appears that Bajwa has lost his mental balance just for the sake of his lust to become the chief minister. Unfortunately, the opposition was questioning the credentials of an eminent environmentalist who had been working for the environment since 1999. Those asking about degrees of Seechewal, a Padmashree awardee, have forgotten that their leader Rahul Gandhi, who has a degree from Cambridge, has done nothing credible for the country,” said Mann.

He said that those who had degrees from Doon, Sanawar or others and were at the helm of affairs in the state had contributed nothing to the country or state.
